The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina
The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina Abstract The Roman calendar was first developed as a lunar | 290 calendar, so it was difficult for the Romans to reconcile this with the natural solar year. In 45 BC, Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, creating a solar year of 365 days with leap years every four years. This article explains the process by which the Roman calendar evolved and argues that the reason February has 28 days is that Caesar did not want to interfere with religious festivals that occurred in February. Beginning as a lunar calendar, the Romans developed a lunisolar system that tried to reconcile lunar months with the solar year, with the unfortunate result that the calendar was often inaccurate by up to four months. Caesar fixed this by changing the lengths of most months, but made no change to February because of the tradition of intercalation, which the article explains, and because of festivals that were celebrated in February that were connected to the Roman New Year, which had originally been on March 1. Introduction The reason why February has 28 days in the modern calendar is that Caesar did not want to interfere with festivals that honored the dead, some of which were Past Imperfect 15 (2009) | © | ISSN 1711-053X | eISSN 1718-4487 connected to the position of the Roman New Year. In the earliest calendars of the Roman Republic, the year began on March 1, because the consuls, after whom the year was named, began their years in office on the Ides of March. -

Men at Work: Public Construction, Labor, and Society at Middle Republican Rome, 390-168 B.C. Abstract MEN AT WORK: PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION, LABOR, AND SOCIETY AT MID-REPUBLICAN ROME, 390-168 B.C. Seth G. Bernard C. Brian Rose, Supervisor of Dissertation This dissertation investigates how Rome organized and paid for the considerable amount of labor that went into the physical transformation of the Middle Republican city. In particular, it considers the role played by the cost of public construction in the socioeconomic history of the period, here defined as 390 to 168 B.C. During the Middle Republic period, Rome expanded its dominion first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean. As it developed into the political and economic capital of its world, the city itself went through transformative change, recognizable in a great deal of new public infrastructure. -

Calendar of Roman Events
Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th. -

Eclogae, Pur Discostandoci Da Alcune Scelte, Come Segnalato Nel Commento, Che Riguardano Essenzialmente Interventi Sul Testo Che Non Ci Sentiamo Di Condividere
Introduzione Il testo L’edizione a cui ci riconduciamo per tutta l’opera ausoniana è quella del Green, The Works of Ausonius, Oxford 1991. L’edizione del Green, che costituisce ad oggi un riferimento imprescindibile per gli studi su Ausonio, e che ha il merito non da poco di aver portato chiarezza nella confusione che regnava nelle citazioni dell’opera del poeta bordolese1, si segnala anche per i progressi nella questione testuale, per l’attenzione nella valutazione dei codici e per la serietà della sezione critica, e i suoi molti meriti non sono offuscati da alcune perplessità che lascia a proposito dei numerosi emendamenti, non sempre giustificati dalla necessità2. In questo lavoro ci rifacciamo ad essa per il testo e per l’ordinamento delle eclogae, pur discostandoci da alcune scelte, come segnalato nel commento, che riguardano essenzialmente interventi sul testo che non ci sentiamo di condividere. Inoltre Green espunge dal corpus delle eclogae la dedica a Drepanio, che apre il gruppo 19-25 nei codici, ritenendo che essa non fosse destinata ad accompagnare il Liber3, e su questo punto ci troviamo a dissentire. Se ne discuterà nel commento, ma accennare già adesso alla questione ci sembra necessario, poiché gli argomenti che ci persuadono hanno una certa rilevanza che si riflette sull’interpretazione dell’opera4. 1 Cfr. L. Mondin, Dieci anni di critica ausoniana, «BSL» 24, 1994, p. 200: «Una più razionale ridistribuzione dell’eterogeneo corpus ausoniano secondo lucidi criteri di genere e di affinità contenutistica rende complessivamente più fruibile l’edizione e risolve in buona parte il problema delle citazioni, finora oscillanti tra la numerazione progressiva dei componimenti secondo l’ed. -
Fasti'nin Açtığı Pencereden Roma Takvimine Bakış a Look at Roman
Sosyoloji Dergisi, 3. Dizi, 26. Sayı, 2013/1, 191-212 Fasti’nin Açtığı Pencereden Roma Takvimine Bakış Ekin Öyken* Özet: Günümüzde neredeyse tüm dünyada geçerliliği olan Gregorius takvimi, Roma takviminin kısmen değişmiş bir biçimidir. Kökleri Cumhuriyet öncesi döneme kadar giden Roma takviminde ise en önemli reform Iulius Caesar zamanında olmuştur. Roma tarihine gönderme yapan uğurlu ve uğursuz günleri, dinsel günleri, bayramları ve meclis günleri her dönemde oldukça renkli olan Roma takvimi, toplumsal yaşamı düzenleyen önemli bir araç olmasının yanı sıra, birçok antik yazar için merak ve esin kaynağı da olmuştur. Dolayısıyla Roma takvimini yalnızca işlevsel bir zaman tablosu olarak değil mitoloji, din ve tarihin iç içe geçtiği bir semboller ağı olarak düşünmek gerekir. Bu makalede, Ovidius’un (MÖ 43 - MS 17~18) Fasti eseri bağlamında, tak- vimin Roma şiirindeki özgün bir görüntüsü değerlendirilecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Ovidius, Fasti, Roma Cumhuriyet Dönemi Takvimi, Roma Yılı, Roma Dini A Look at Roman Calendar Through Fasti’s Window Abstract: The Gregorian calendar, which is widely adopted in the world today, is a partially modified version of the ancient Roman calendar. The ancient Roman calendar itself, which has it roots in the pre-Republican era, underwent the most definite change in the age of Julius Caesar. Besides being an important medium for the organization of social life, the Roman calendar, with its religious days, festivals, assembly days, auspicious and ominous days, was a source of curiosity and inspiration for the ancient authors. Hence, we have to think of it not just as a practical time table but also as a web of symbols woven with mythology, religion and history. -
